Welcome to Gaia! ::

The area generally around the sky fortress Saggitarius. This area is vast as the air space is usually spread over many miles, more accurately put its air space is ragarded as its firing range which spans great distances even beyond human sight range, though the sky fortress saggitarius is extremely hard to miss. Those entering the fortress will usually have to pass through here and linger a short period of time to gain clearence for entry. This space is a popular area for those on boared the sky fortress saggitarius to train outside of be it on land or in vehicles air land or sea based. Though it can also be regarded as a battle zone as those who try to fight against the sky fortress saggitarius will have to be able to out match its increadible firing range and thus enter the air space to combat it, the air space is not restricted to air as it is the sky fortress saggitarius is equiped to combt against land air and sea effectively making all areas of space around it equal as it may change on its travels from area to area making the space around it change from time to time.

((I will post in brackets randomly what the terrain is in the title, on occasions we will have rare placements over specific key locations within kingdoms or special area's though most will be generic locations, these changes will be performed by only welshzee19 and welsh-wyvern))

''Next? That should be obviouse, you fight to stay in the air of course...'' Junichiro smiled rather desceptively in a friendly manner as he calmly in a cheerful tone shouted out, ''Sagittarius, Release the first wave...make it just one figher!'' Suddenly a figher lit up and commensed launch procedures quickly firing its engines propelling itself out into the air space. The hanger then spoke in the same calm tone of voice ''Fighter 1 has been launched captain, AI is operating at the requested combat efficiency of training level''

Junichiro continued to smile as he spoke to the fortress yet again, ''Sagittarius project what i say out into the air space up until each of the 10 fighters are used up alright?'' Sagittarius paused for a moment before speaking in a slightly more unusual tone, as though he knew Junichiro was planning something for the boy, ''Yes captain, request confirmed...'' Suddenly a loud distortion sound activated from outside of the fortress before falling quiet again and Junichiro poke clearly in the hanger which projected outwards. ''Alright kid you'r first task is going to be to defeat a single fighter, this is basically gong to gauge roughly what you'r skill level is on average based on one on one combat. However you will not always meet up with a single enemy at any one time, so after each wave an extra ship will be added to each wave, to use up all to fighters there is going to be 4 waves...understood?''

Junichiro grinned and spoke more sadisticly but still with a cheerful tone, ''if not, well don't go down to quickly alright, at least make it past the first wave...now training commence.'' The AI controlled fighter while randomly flying around at a rather slow pace for a fighter suddenly picked up speed and began zipping around the air in zig zag patterns preparing for an attack on Kemono as it began activating its weapons and activating all its on boared systems, namely the radar and lock on systems. Luckily since Kinhiryuu was currently very close to the fortress it simply moved in towards him trying to get a closer shot as the AI had to ensure not to hit the fortress for obvious reasons and thus needed to close the gap before firing on Kemono.

''Oh, and one last thing, those bullets are knwon as shock round for a reason, basically they will eventually begin to make you'r ship fail to function properly by releasing specially contain electrical discharges upon impact, sure they are taining rounds, and thus cause little impact damage, but accumulate these over time and it will basically create a scenario like you were being shot down, keep that in mind wont you?'' Junichiro spoke out pleasently last minute as the AI fighter quickly closed the gap and readied to fire on Kemono giving him only a brief window of oppertunity to act before the battle really began otherwise he would risk being shot down before the training even got started properly. Junichiro left this information out until the last possible second on purpose as he wanted to see how he would react under sudden threat, not out of sadistic glee like his brother would.

Junichiro however still had other plans up his sleeve as this was only the tip of the iceberg, a very large and dangerous iceberg, but he kept that to himself and the fortress which seemed to Know what Junichiro was planning, this was displayed with its reaction to his orders regarding the fighters and Junichiro's tone of voice and body language. Junichiro planned on pushing Kemono right to the peek of his abilities and really test him for everything he has got to show. Junichiro had great faith in him based on pure gut instinct, this was not very commonly displayed as Junichiro usually trains on a basic layout, unlike this which was more secretive and somewhat harsh, and was going to get more so as Kemono progressed.

The AI attempted a variety of flight maneuvers to avoid Kemono getting behind it, though inevitably yhr AI ended up being the chased fighter. Though unlike its own strategy of trying to get as close as possible Kemono seemed to stay further back when retaliating against the AI fighter. Naturally at longer ranges the AI computer had more time free to calculate the situation and how best to handle it, a matter of seconds is more than enough time for an AI designed by Junichiro and Asura and as such quickly began formulating a new flight pattern to attempt a counter measure on the attacks made by Kemono.

The ship repeatedly swayed at a tilted angle from left to right narrowly evading many of the bullets where as some managed to impact along the wings of the ship rather than the body or engines of the fighter. The fighter after recieving a few moments of fire on it quickly performed a sudden aerial flip sky rocketing straight up into the air and turning after reaching a higher altitude to make a dive bomb maneuver down towards Kemono. The figher quickly locked on after begining its descent and began to rapidly spin as it resumed fire down towards Kemono emptying a large barrage of bullets down towards Kemono at high speed as the fighter picked up speed from the descent closing the gap very quickly making another situation for Kemono to need to think quickly.

The sudden window of oppertunity that was created after the AI's attack was taken advantage of and as such the left wing was hit several times as it passed Kemono and tried to escape back into open air to redirect itself for another attack. Kemono's timing of when to fire on the AI fighter allowed its left wing to become disabled, this meant the left wing mounted gun and the left wing mounted enging had become disabled leaving 3 engines still working the 2 main thrusters in the back and the right wing engine along with the right wing machine gun and its shock missles underneath the hull of the fighter.

In rapid response the Fighter began acting more peculiar as its motions seemed more frantic, it zipped around almost randomly in the attempt to shake off Kemono before pulling a hard stop on its thrust making it perform a propelled backflip over the top of Kemono as being behind the AI fighter meant he would fly directly under him with a very short distance between them. The AI targeted Kemono and began firing its remaining machine gun down at the body of Kemono's fighter, and upon passing the AI quickly thrusted forward after him.

Though having one engine disabled, and on its left wing, it became somewhat unbanced in flight, though its targeting was enough to more or less keep track of Kemono for the time being, at least at the distance it maintained. The AI wasted no time keeping up its suddenly increased aggression and fired to of the shock missles, one missles was specifically locked to each wing engines in an attempt to drastically hinder Kemono's movements to assist in the AI gaining the a edge over him as the AI was no one engine and one gun down where Kemono had only suffered minor damage thus far.

The fighter somewhat off balance in its maneuvers could not perform maximum efficiency evasions which resulted in a steady accumulation of impacts after Kemono's weapons resumed firing. The AI calculated the damage ratio was getting critical before the shocks would disable the ship, as a result it began to head back towards the fortress as a default safety mechanism where it began landing procedures in the hanger. Junichiro then spoke out from the fortress hanger using its speaker systems, ''Well, you seem to have gotten through a dog fight with my AI, congratulations...however there are 3 more waves, it is up to you if you feel you can continue''.

Junichiro's tone was deliberately sounding supportive of Kemono in a way obviously trying to push him to keep on and encouraging him to simply do more to show his worth to the fortress. ''I guess I will throw you bone, I should not let you consecutively fight in such a condition feel free to dock back up in the hanger and I can get that ship back in perfect condition in no time at all....''

Junichiro smirked and let out a histerical laughter of joy as he stood from his seat and stood on the edge of the hanger door speaing to Kemono with a wide spread smile. ''You are really gutsy you know that, just don't let it get the better of you...'' Junichiro spoke and clapped his hands together, upon impact two circles layered with writting and symbols from his home country began to vibrantly glow a deep shade of red. Junichiro quickly pressed his hands down on the side of Kemono's ship and a huge reaction began to occur.

The dents in the ship began to form back into place as red lightning like sparks began firing of from the ship as dents, scratches and other damaged parts began reforming at an alarming rate all over the ship. This process took very little time to complete, Junichiro lifted his hands and brushed them down the side of his jacket as remnents of red sparks fired for several more seconds from his hands and the ship. He casually walked back to his seat in the hanger and with a cheerful voice spoke out through the speaker, ''Well I think you are good to go, round two comming up kid!''

The fortress immediatly progressed to launching 2 more fighters into the air space which climbed to a fairly high altitude above Kemono and flew in a paired manner staying on several meters apart almost mimicing eachothers flight patterns as they turned to face Kemono after gaining sufficient distance from him and both began nose diving next to one another preparing to fire as soon as Kemono made a move away from the fortress, and if he did not they were prepared to continue the nose dive to ram him away from the fortress.

The fighters made hard turns to try and keep on the tail of Kemono and his ship as he pulled to the left to evade their attacks. The ships stayed a matter of a few feet away from one another still mimicing eachothers flight patterns with one above the other. The fighters held of their fire for a few moments to try and align themselves with Kemono rather than waste ammo by keeping contant fire even without being on aim. The ships managed to eventually get behind him remaining in the atter of once fighter being above the other and began activating the equiped missles under the wings of the fighters.

Each of the fighters fired two missles each as they remained enough distance away from Kemono to not be caught in the shock blast if they hit, the missles flight paths were all locked onto the main engines of Kemono's fighter and flew very quickly towards his ship getting closer to eachother as they approached Kemono's fighter. The missles though needed to make an impact quick as otherwise they would expload on one another before hitting the engines of Kemono's ship in which a shock wave would occur between the two test fighters and Kemono.

((Each ship shot two missles, there were four fired not two, but I will run wit it being four not two because the tactic you made would work that way......I must be getting soft letting this sort of stuff slide so easily haha...))

The missles that flew atop of one another neared Kemono, though the sudden flip which launched him straight up and over them caused the seeking missles to suddenly change the flight ath causing the lower flying missles to move straight up into the missles that were higher up which caused a premature detonation. The shock of the missles colliding with one another caused a much larger shock than any single missle impact, essentially creating a miniature EMP which fired over a considerably large range engullfing most of the space between the two test fighters and Kemono.

Since the maneuver Kemono pulled was made to get himself further away from the impact and the fighters it was possible he would evade most of the serious damage created from the shock wave, however the two test fighters were chasing Kemono which made them inevitably fly closer to the shock waveresulting in a more extensive shock to the two fighters. As a result of flying into the shock wave the AI computers became confused and navigation became scrambled causing them to fly around more aimlessely trying to balance themselves s they broke formation and began flying considerably slower due to both ships being engulfed in the shock wave.

The ships now after breaking formation were flying very recklessely and began ignoring one another in a sense as they flew of in their own directions and began randomly firing hails of shock bullets towards Kemono from a distance, though this time from two different directions, the fist fighter meandered around underneath Kemono while the other progressed to fly higher up and rain bullets down ontop, though both test fighters managed to stay the same distance apart from eachother to not have their bullets cross over and hit eachother, though ignoring eachother to not create a flight pattern together they still registered eachother under the same designation as allies where Kemono was still classified as an enemy target.
